This special episode has Tom meeting comedian Martin Butler at an anonymous comedy club (not the Castle!) on a summer comedy weekend somewhere in the Midwest.  Hear what happens before and after the show, how every night in stand-up is like a dunk tank, that opening for Kansas is a good thing, and that emotional support chihuahuas are people, too. This is an enlightening and funny look at the process of being a comedian, and why it’s much harder than it looks.
